"Percy!", Naomi whispered, "Where are we going?"

Percy put his finger to his lips, and crawled down the hall, sticking to the shadows. Turning to find Naomi wasn't coming, he motioned her.

"No! Not tell me to where were going."

Footsteps were faintly heard coming down the hall. Quickly Percy rolled back next to Naomi, put his hand over her mouth and pulled her into the closet next to them.

"Pemm… whmm… mmm…", she struggled.

The footsteps grew closer.

"OUCH!!", Percy screamed as Naomi bit down on his hand.

"Well if you'd tell me what we're doing!", she huffed.

"Do you want to get us caught!!!"

"Why would it matter if we got caught!!!"

"HELLO?!? All girl school, I'm a boy… Can you put two and two together?"

The footsteps stopped right outside the door.

"Now if you could be quiet just for a few minutes so we don't get…"

The door squeaked as someone from the outside opened it.

"Crap."

"OH MY!! OH MY!! THERE'S!! THERE'S A BOY IN THE…", she started to scream before Naomi jumped on her and stuffed a towel she found in the closet into the girls mouth.

Dragging the girl back into the closet and closing the door Naomi whispered, "There! Are you happy?"

"No! Now what are we going to do with her!"

"This", Naomi said as she grabbed more towels and bound the girls hand and feet. Then she blindfolded her and made sure the towel was properly stuffed in her mouth.

"That's great", Percy muttered, "Except we still need a way to get around unnoticed."

"Well, do you want me to come up with everything?!?"

"It would help!!"

"Honestly, Percy… I don't understand you… it's always do this and do that."

"At least I saved our lives on the bridge!"

"YOU SAVED US!!! WHAT ABOUT ME HOT-WIRING THE CAR?!?"

"MMMMMM!!!", the girl tried to scream. Naomi turned around and hit her head against the wall.

"Look I just did another thing!! I bashed that freaking girl's head in the wall so we don't get caught!!"

They sat there for a few seconds, about a foot away from each other, breathing heavily.

Then Percy broke the silence, "If you think that I will be bossed around by…"

He was interrupted by Naomi lips, as she forced her mouth onto his. Together they sat there for a few moments kissing, before Naomi pulled away.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

"Don't be", Percy said with a sudden calmness in his voice.

"No… I really shouldn't have done that."

"Doesn't matter now", he said standing up, "What's more important is finding away to get through this place unnoticed."

"Actually, Percy… I think I have a way", Naomi said, reaching into a nearby bin and pulling out a skirt and some heels."

"Why would the school's personal storage of clothes help us get through here."

"Is your skull really that dense Percy?", Naomi said raising her eyebrows.

"You're not suggesting…"

"I am suggesting…"

"No. If there is one thing I won't do, it's wear girl's clothes."

"Aww, is widdle old Percy scare", she said mockingly.

"No… it's just…"

"Then put it on", she snapped throwing the clothes at him.

Picking up the skirt, Percy muttered to himself, "I can't believe I'm really doing this…"

"I still can't believe I'm doing this…"

"Just get over it, you don't look that bad."

"Says the person that wears skirts regularly."

"Oh come on Percy, how often do you see girls wearing guys' clothes."

"That's different…"

"Really? Give me one good reason and you can take that off and will find another way."

"Er… um…"

"That's what I thought."

"Whatever, let's get this over with. And don't mention this to anyone at camp."

"Fine, but Percy you seem to have forgotten something."

"And what's that."

"Your legs."

"What about my legs", he said looking down at them.

"They're really hairy."

"And… your point", he said trying to figure out what she meant.

"Geez, do I have to spell everything out. How many girls do you see with legs that hairy."

Then it hit Percy like a ton of bricks, "NO!"

"Aww… come on…", she said teasingly giving him the puppy dog face.

"THE SKIRT IS ONE THING, BUT I REFUSE TO SHAVE MY LEGS", Percy said backing up to the corner of the closet.

"Okay… I guess you've done enough", she said defeated, before walking up and putting her arms around him.

"Er… um… Really?", he said confused.

"NO!", she said, tackling him to the floor and sitting on top of him.

"Get off of me!!", he half squeaked as she pulled a lighter out of her pocket.

"Are you going to shave them?"

"No!!"

"Then I guess we do it my way", she laughed as she lit the lighter and began singeing the hairs off his legs.

"Did I tell you how much I hate you?", Percy huffed as he ran his hand over his nicely clean leg.

"Aww, you look so cute now…" she said running her hand on his chin.

With a long and drawn out sigh Percy said, "Alright, are we ready yet?"

"Yep, I guess so."

Together they walked out just as the bell rang and merged into the crowds of girls heading to their next class.

"Percy!! Do you even know where you're going?!?", Naomi said under her breath.

"No, not really. I was just hoping to wander around until we found Rachael."

"Wow, boy's have such great planning", she said sarcastically before turning to a girl next to her and asking, "Excuse me, do you know where Elizabeth Dare is?"

"You mean the crazy one?"

"Sure, I guess so."

"The last time I saw her, she was down in room 216 huddled in the corner."

"Thanks", she said turning to find Percy nowhere in sight.

"PERCY!!!", she shouted under her breath.

"Ya, over here!", he said from a bench on the other side of the hallway.

He was sitting with two girls, one was practically laying on him, while the other fiddled with his hair.

"How do you get sidetracked so easily?!?!", she said pulling out her blade.

"WHOA, HANG ON A MINUTE!! JUST BECAUSE I SIT DOWN WITH SOME GIRLS DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO PULL OUT YOUR KNIFE AND…", Percy shouted.

Naomi lunged at both the girls and plunged her knife in both of them in a blink of an eye, making them explode into dust.

"WHAT THE…", Percy shouted jumping up, "MONSTERS!!! HOW'D YOU KNOW!!"

"Oh come on Percy!! How often do you see two girls lounging on a person that looks like another girl. You're disguise isn't that bad!!!"

"Okay, but we still need to find where Rachael is at."

"Too late, I already know. Follow me", she muttered before adding, "As usual."

Room 216 was empty, except for one person huddled in the corner crying.

"Rachael", Percy muttered before running to her side.

Her clothes were all torn, he face was beat red, and it looked as if she had just gotten into a fight.

"Rachael, what happened?", Percy murmured.

"Gone…", she replied as if in a trance, completely ignoring Percy.

"What's gone?"

"Gone… she murmured again.

"Rachael!! Rachael what's wrong?!? Rachael?!?"

She continued to ignore him as she rose to her feet and began to walk around the room.

"I've lost it…"

"Lost what?", Percy said glancing at Naomi, now starting to get worried.

"Gone…"

"Naomi, do you going on?"

"No, I have no clue."

"They took it…", Rachael continued.

"Rachael, tell me what's going on", Percy said grabbing her.

"Fallen…"

"Fallen? What are talking about?", Percy screamed beginning to shake her.

"PERCY STOP THAT!!", Naomi screamed as she ran over to stop Percy from shaking her, and forced him to drop her onto the ground. Rachael then got up and walked toward the doorway.

"TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!!!", Percy screamed from across the room, "YOU'RE THE ORACLE, TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!!!"

Rachael stopped in the doorway and turned around and spoke, "Oracle… taken… Fallen… returning…Olympus… danger…", then her body went rigid as a knife pierced through her heart.

"RACHAEL!!!", Percy screamed as Rachael's body went limp on the ground, dead.

Wiping his Stygian blade with an evil glint to his eye, Percy recognized an all too familiar face.

"Nico", he seethed under his breath.

"Such a shame", Nico said kicking the lifeless body of Rachael with no respect.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE NICO?!? WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS?!?", Percy shouted.

Completing cleaning his blade he tossed his rag on the ground and spoke softly, "I'm here to kill you."
